168. Hilary Duff Part 1: Lizzie McGuire
Episode 169
Monday, 23 February, 2026
Yesterday your life was duller... now everything is technicolor because today is finally the day my Hilary Duff series premieres!!! Today we start with Hilary's childhood that began with acting in plays with sister Haylie in their home state of Texas and ended with superstardom. After some early success, Hilary left Hollywood completely discouraged due to being fired from a high profile gig. The 12-year-old declined auditioning for Lizzie McGuire multiple times before agreeing and almost single-handedly revamping the entire Disney brand for the 2000s. I explain why Hilary became so successful back then and why she has remained in the hearts & minds of millennials to this day.
